Bio

Enshrouded with shadows and the echoes of damned souls, the Defiler is a lover of decay and madness and agony. She draws strength from death around her, and can expel living, suffering shadows from her flesh. Wielding both deadly attacks and an unholy awe that strikes silence into her foes, she truly deserves her vile epithet: "Mistress of the Damned."

Power in Death

Unholy Expulsion

Activate to spawn 6 / 11 / 16 invulnerable spirits, plus bonus spirits from Power in Death, for 30 seconds that will attack any target you attack. Max of 10 / 15 / 20 spirits. The spirits will heal the Defiler when they expire. Each spirit has 46 Attack Damage and moves at 400 / 450 / 500 Movement Speed. This ability can be boosted by Staff of the Master: allows you to activate this ability again while the spirits are active to quickly send them toward your target. Targeting enemy units and structures will send the spirits to attack once with 75% Attack Damage and then return to Defiler. Targeting an allied hero will consume all spirits, healing the target for half of their stored damage.
